Actor Bryshere Gray, who’s popularly known for his role as Hakeem Lyon in Empire, has been arrested for domestic violence.

This after a passer-by was flagged by the actor’s wife to call the police.

The police officers who heeded the call to the assault scene told TMZ that Bryshere's wife had numerous visible injuries on her body.

She also told the police officers that her husband strangled her and she temporarily lost consciousness during the alleged assault.

She was taken to the nearby hospital and treated for her injuries and later released from the hospital.

TMZ further reported that police officers went to the actor’s home but he refused to leave and barricaded himself inside the house and a SWAT team was called to the scene.

After the standoff with the SWAT team and crisis negotiators the actor handed himself over and was arrested on three charges - felony aggravated assault (strangulation), misdemeanor assault (domestic violence), and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
